Interesting number crunching going on. Guido’s readers, not him due to his bias, have: What is interesting is that the UKIP vote share in Scotland is about 4%, and in London about 8%, but in the UK as a whole they are currently polling about 15-18%. If you do the maths on this, you will find that in England they have to be polling around 23-5% for the UK average…

ZeroHedge had: “The Fed is out of control,” exclaims David Stockman – perhaps best known for architecting Reagan’s economic turnaround known as ‘Morning in America’ – adding that “people don’t want to hear the reality and the truth that we’re facing.” Policymakers are “taking our economy in a direction that is dangerous, that is not sustainable, and is likely to fully undermine everything that’s been built up and created by…

Officers arrested 16 people living on the site in connection with the production of cannabis and three others in connection with separate offences. They said a ‘small minority of individuals’ with links to the site had been involved. Right, right. And all the others? They never noticed anything? They never wondered when they’d see any of the ‘community centre’ up and running? Wondered when the three toilets would be in…

The brief at OoL was that posts, in some way, were connected to the concept of freedom and a natural corollary of that – its limits. Should burquas be banned? Should smoking in public places? Should there be any bans at all, e.g. people decapitating others in the name of a cause? And the stance of the blog, namely that there is no real stance beyond live and let live,…

One of the constant criticisms by our side of politics is how much consideration is given exploded points of view. Balance though, I’ve been forced to learn, is a false construct in many areas. For example, someone like us who constantly puts that sexualizing children is one of the sickest by-products of leftism today – something we say on our side of politics – is hardly going to take kindly to…

Bum-fluff chinned Cerie Bullivant, on being steamrollered by Kay Burley on TV: Mr Bullivant continued: “Muslims are human beings as well. We are shocked when we see beheadings.“ Ahem. And errr, it’s not just beheadings, is it..? Far from it. But hey, do carry on, Cerie. I try never to get in the way of my enemy when he’s destroying himself.

Humaira Patel on the Muslim schoolgirls: The question we find ourselves asking is short, but important: why? Why are they thought to be going to join a terrorist group in Syria when life is so much better in the UK? Well, that’s not the question I’m asking – I’m asking ‘How big a plane would I need to charter so they can take other like-minded idiots with them?’ They were…

Bloggers for UKIP write: Douglas Carswell has told the media to stop “mischief making” about his relationship with Nigel Farage. Rumours were circulating yesterday (almost certainly from the anti-UKIP “research” team in CCHQ who have been running the dirty campaign against UKIP since 2013) that there is a rift between Douglas Carswell and Nigel Farage. There’s little doubt that he is being wooed for a switch back to the Tories…

Last week, we were informed, in an “earnest attack”, by Public Health England that supermarkets need to keep the spring flower away from the fruit and veg sections, because people are mistaking daffodil bulbs for onions. And, no, it’s not April 1. It ought to be! Apparently, some 63 people have suffered from daffodil poisoning over the past six years alone. That’s…10 a year? Totally statistically insignificant. Professor Paul Cosford,…

One of the other girls says: “When we don’t have food at home, my mum sends us all to Kids Company and tells us to make sure we get seconds.” I bet she takes the child benefit that’s supposed to feed and clothe you though, eh? And if you dare to take issue with this, you’re clearly a herd-hearted rightwing bitch who wants children to starve! Yes, the ‘basic…
